PR in the slipstream of https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1986 (on removing default checked checkbox for recurring contributions)

I partly agree with this change as there has been complaints from Circle clients as well but some clients prefer to have it set by default. So we ended up creating extension to include JS to set the box untick.

thanks @magnolia61 I'll include it in dev-digest this week to see if more people support this. Also good to see @pradpnayak has already confirmed from his clients POV

test this please

I think this change makes civicrm also more consistent as all other notification boxes (eg. send contribution receipt) is also unchecked by default and it makes sense to make a deliberate choice in when to send a notification. I hope on some more support to be able to have this merged :-)

I included this in the dev-digest. We didn't get any further response and I agree with the reasoning above, merging
